Even though Jayden Daniels was prolific as a runner, he was assigned as the starting quarterback. In the first thirty minutes of the match, it was pretty evident that the Tigers' offense failed to maintain any consistent rhythm. They just managed one field goal, which was also due to a missed try on another red-zone trip.

In the meantime, Florida State kept scoring a 39-yard touchdown pass. The team took a 24-10 lead midway during the fourth quarter.

Why did everyone make a joke about Brian Kelly?

His team's struggle against Florida State led LSU's head coach to become the center topic of discussion. Moreover, Kelly's infamous Southern accent made him get trolled on social media since he was appointed last December.

It has been told that the LSU team moved to the locker room trailing 7-3 till halftime. Then, college football fans didn't hesitate to target Kelly for the performance of his team while trolling him for his Southern accent.
